-Anthony

 

put the skirts back on.nice car though

 

looks good -i like it!

 

Great find of a *****in' car! Loose the skirts, those things are ugly. Loose the bumper guard as well. Congratulations on your find!

 

Would that be the one I saw in the spectator lot at the Louisville NSRA Nats on Saturday? I remember thinking it needed a better home with just the upgrades that you've executed. Nice.

 

probably not,,the dude i got it from is an old biker and cares less about going to any car shows as he is not what you'd call a social person,haha,,he inherited the car from his brother(also an old ******** biker) who was killed on his harley ,,

 

i hated the faded black primmer...

found a bit of a stock grille..i like the stock grilles....



and NO!,i'm not done with the rocks on the wall yet! that's a job in itself!!

 

Lookin' really nice Sam......

Where's the grill center......sent out for GOLD plating?????? he he

 

i was hoping some one here would have one!

 

Wow - much better with the new coat. I'm more than a little jealous.

 

Holy **** ****!!! you build some rad cars dude!! Amazing what a change of color and a little hard work will do to a car!! keep it up!! and the Stock grill rules dude!

 

thanks Eric!,,apreciate it! but i am just a poor junk rodder! trying to make do with what lil i have and at the same time trying to NOT be a rat rodder!

btw,,i dont know whats up,but ive had so many people comment on the car since i got it about the movie "COBRA",,well thats fine ,,but what the **** about the pharroh car in AG,or the mercury in "heart like a wheel" or "rebel without a cause" or "book of love" or ...???,,its cool that people identify with a 49-51 mercury but i wish it was with a different thing than COBRA,,hahaha,,i got the same thing when i was cruising the chopped 51 chevy ,,COBRA,,hahahaha

 

isn't that what most of us are doing? making due with what we have? Keep up the good work dude, i love the blue primer and the seat covers look cool too. now lets see you take it to the next level!.....after you finish that rock wall of course!

 

Looks great, I love the interior....Very John-boy Walton!!

 

Damn, you are sure not scared to paint a car. Looks great with the wheels and the blue paint.

How much work did you do to the car before you painted it?

 

thanks,,

actually i didnt do much at all...the body still needs alot of fine tunning before its shinny,but at this point i cant decide if i want to chop it or not,so i threw the blue suede on there in the meantime untill i can dedcide

 

If i said it once I've said it a hundred times, I hate you sam... Ok now i've vented that's a killer find and do KY boys git first dibbs if you sell it? glad you found a "dream" and best of luck with it-- Now I need some 55 fairlane wagon parts or a whole car Cheap!!!work your magic!!!!!

Kongrats on the find. I'll never forget the day when I picked up my Merc.
Reading your post brings back kool memories. Chop it or not, it can be
kool either way. The most important thing is the stance.

Good luck with the project.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Damn, thats a clean *** merc!

 

Very nice, that is a car I would love to have also! It seems like everytime I find one I dont have any $$$$ I`m sure someday I`ll have both at the same time!

 

Sam, that Merc looks better every day, keep it up........OLDBEET

 

Love that paint job, looks great on that body style. Nice work!
